"Detective O'Hara, you have an excellent record with not only the Santa Barbara Police Department, but with your previous assignments. " The committee begins the meeting with that statement.
She relaxed for a moment, thinking that it wouldn't be all that bad.
"That being said. As a public official you are held to higher standard. The information you have access to is not to be used for personal use or as a vendetta. You're egregious acts toward private citizens, invading their privacy and stalking them have left us no alternative than to ask you to voluntarily resign or be fired. "
O'Hara was speechless as she turned to her union rep, who nodded and answered with. "It's the best thing for the department; we were on the verge of a very nasty and very public lawsuit. We are willing to provide you with a generous severance package as long as you sign this confidentiality agreement."
In shock over everything, O'Hara nodded and quickly signed two sets of documents set before her.
"There is no need for you to go back to your desk." The leader of the meeting told her. "All of your belongings have been packed up and will be delivered to your home. Your colleagues will be told you resigned to pursue other interests. Have a good day.
And with that she was dismissed.

The leader of the meeting took a drive during lunch and stopped at a small park. Getting out of his car and walking several feet before taking out a cell phone from his pocket and making a call.
"It's done." He speaks as soon as the phone is answered.
"Good. I thank you for your cooperation in this little matter."
"I kept my end of the bargain - - "
"And I shall keep my promise as well. A package will be delivered to you in a short time."
And with that the call ended.
He walks back to his car, taking a moment to remove the battery and sim card before dumping them into different trash cans.
